Description
We should install license files with our packages to simplify later packaging.
Several conventions exist:- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Licenses
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines
- ubuntu seems to use /usr/share/doc/$package/copyright
I would propose to simply use one of these conventions and package maintainers for other packages need to create symlinks.
